Carey Malloy is in charge to adapt comic book "Tag" into the big screen set to be produced under Universal Pictures banner.

Set to come up with a potential horror picture, Universal Pictures has assigned Carey Malloy to write for its new project of "Tag" with Jeff Kirschenbaum and David Ortiz both overseeing the production for the studio, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Based on a comic book written by Keith Giffen and drawn by Kody Chamberlain, the project follows a man as he sees his body decompose every day before his eyes after being tagged by a stranger.
